The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nysom Wike has called on Nigerians to be patient in view of current economic difficulties facing the country.
Speaking in Ibadan during a condolence visit to the governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, over the death of his elder brother, Sunday Makinde, Mr Wike emphasised that the policies being implemented by President Bola Tinubu are for the betterment of nigerians.
The minister who led former governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom and other dignitaries, urged the people to understand that while the transition may be painful, it is necessary for long-term benefits.
He said, “I have always told people to be patient with this government. This country has faced significant challenges in the past, and it’s essential to recognise the progress we’ve made. Nigerians often forget where we were and the efforts being put in place to improve our situation.”
“Although we may have to endure some hardships now, we should not panic. Mr. President genuinely cares for our country, and I assure you that better days are ahead.”
“There is no such thing as a miracle solution. The policies Mr. President is enacting are designed to benefit all Nigerians.”
Mr. Wike said the visit was to identify with Governor Makinde and prayed God to give him strength to bear the irreparable loss of his mentor.
In a related development, PDP elder statesman, Chief Bode George also led some PDP chieftains on a condolence visit to Governor Makinde.
